This homemade Alfredo Sauce is the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s creamy and decadent, yet such a simple classic. I love to whip up a batch to go over a favorite pasta for one of the most comforting, quick suppers ever. So super easy to make, I spent some time perfecting this recipe into what I consider to be the best. And once you see how quickly you can get this on the table, you’ll want to make it from scratch from now on. I can’t wait for you to try it!

After years of practice, I’ve mastered homemade Alfredo sauce that is perfect every single time that I make it. It takes me right back to those just after college years when two of my friends and I would make trips into Atlanta on a regular basis. We’d always have lengthy discussions about where we wanted to eat, but at least once a month, we’d visit Olive Garden for their Fettuccine Alfredo.

Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Over the years, I’ve tweaked my Mama’s Alfredo sauce recipe trying to get it closer to that version we craved and still couldn’t visit an Olive Garden without having to order a bowl of it! A little more cream, a blend of butter and olive oil, a little more this, a little less of that, and then I found the secret. Well, at least the secret to what I think is the best I’ve ever tasted.

This easy Alfredo sauce is perfect over cooked pasta and since it is ready in less than 30 minutes, it makes a mighty delicious and comforting classic quick-fix dish!

How to Make Alfredo Sauce

To make my homemade Alfredo sauce, I start by adding the butter and olive oil to a medium sauce pan or skillet set over medium heat and let the butter melt.

Then, I add the cream cheese, whipping cream, and my Stone House Seasoning. If you haven’t already made the Stone House Seasoning, oh boy, you need it! 🙂 If you do not have it on hand, I’ve included a substitute in the notes of the recipe for you.

Bring all to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes.

Stir constantly and add the Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses and allow to cook until the sauce is creamy, thick and smooth, about 3 more minutes.

Notes

Use 2 cloves garlic, minced, along with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper in place of the Stone House Seasoning, if preferred.

I’m dying to try this but Every sauce recipe I’ve ever added Parmesan cheese to becomes a clumpy stick to my spoon ball of cheese mess, any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? It doesn’t melt smooth for me?

My wife and son loved it . Thank you for sharing . Almost right after i made it, they asked for it again. I had never made alfredo before and used stone’s seasoning i it and on thin chicken breast as a rub before browning it, and again it was raved about.

My family loved this recipe! So good! I am curious if this sauce reheats well for leftovers? Last time I made this there wasn’t any leftovers! My daughter in law requested I make extra next time so she could take a container home for next day. I’m just not sure if reheating will change the consistency of the sauce?

Hi Kelly,
I’m so happy to hear that you and your family enjoy this so much! It’s one of my favorites too!
To reheat the next day, I’d suggest reheating it in a saucepan over gentle, low heat. Don’t let the heat get to high because that might change the consistency of the sauce. If reheating in the microwave, use the reheat power and heat for 20-30 second increments, stirring each time.
I hope this helps and that you continue to enjoy it! Thanks so much! xo

Hubby (and ME!) approved…so delicious! Whenever an Alfredo is called for, this is the one. So tasty and thank you also for the Stone House Seasoning recipe. I have a batch of it in my pantry awaiting it’s next target. Sure to be yummy!!

Best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever made, and I’ve made many delicious sauces before. The cream cheese adds such a beautiful creaminess to the sauce. I used fresh garlic and some freshly grated nutmeg. Will be serving it tomorrow for a party and I guarantee people will be licking their bowls. Thank you.
